Hey Wayne, glad to hear you got back to The World, and are doing all right! I remember Mack's gun squad, you and those guys, especially, "Kinky," or "Kinks." The first time I heard him over our landline at the FDC using his sort of 'gayesque' faked accent I thought, "WTFO?"

Kim I don't know if you remember me or not but I served with you in Vietnam. I was in Mac's squad as a gunner , I got to Vietnam in August of 71. I want to thank you for helping me to adjust to being there. I had a blue photo album and you marked where we were on it for me .I remember you , Mac, Kinky, Hunter, Renny, Mustang and a cook I think his name was Floyd he would cook bacon sandwiches sometimes at night. I too think about the Chinook day. I met a guy at the fire base we were on Richard Garettson he was on the flight, I talked to his brother years ago. I also had a friend I went to A.I.T. with Jimmy Davis he was with D/502 who went to the crash site. He said the site was a bad scene, they thought the Chinook was shot down. I hope you are doing ok, I'm ok I guess after we got back to Camp Eagle I was sent to Fire Base Jack. When 327 came home I went to C/501 , then to the 196 LIB in Da Nang coming home in June of 72. Thanks again for helping me to adjust to Vietnam.

I was just checking out the site and was looking over Charles Perry's photos. There's is a shot of him next to the sign I painted for our 81mm "Light Horse" mortar unit when we got back for some rest at a Fire Base. If you look closely you can see I spelled "fabulous" wrong. Sergeant (E-7) Wilbur Martin was our platoon sergeant, had put together the largest mortar unit in Vietnam (11 tubes and squads) at the time and was a hell of a guy.

John Ortiz, I emailed you a few minutes ago. Following is a recap of that email. I was Louis's platoon leader for several months. Even though I was no longer a platoon leader ( I got a job in the rear as Executive Officer of D company in August, 1969) when Louis was killed, I always considered him one of my men and his life and death touched my life in many ways. In the 1990s, I wrote a series of tribute stories, honoring men who I was close to and died. I wrote a short story about Louis. At that time I had my own web page and put the stories on line. After more than twenty years and multiple relocations and a busy life, I need to do some searching to find a hard and/or digital copy of the story. Have you read this story? I think I titled it, something like, "Louis T Ortiz, a good soldier with a rough start and a premonition of death that came true". The story needed to be revised as the internet has opened up some channels of communication among us veterans. I will continue searching for the story. I would be interested in learning more about Louis too.
